An experimental study of Th and U of partitioning and diffusion in hydrous rhyolitic melt
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)Part II: Th and U diffusion in granite melt: Experimental determination in diffusion couples. In order to improve our understanding of the transport mechanisms of Th and U in melt, we measured diffusion coefficients of ... -
An investigation of the pampean flat slab and its role in andean tectonics through the analysis of enhanced earthquake catalogues
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2023-05)The Andean margin of South America is an archetypal example of a convergent tectonic environment that has played a fundamental role in the creation, evolution, and consumption of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. ... -
An investigation of the possibility of cryptic layering and the implications of garnet coronas in the Jay Mountain layered metagabbro
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1972-06)The coronas have resulted from a reaction between olivine and plagioclase. They consist of an olivine core concentrically surrounded by an intergrowth of orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, a moat of clear plagioclase, a rim ... -

Calibration, comparison, and experimentation of testate amoebae (arcellacea) as Holocene water quality proxies in lacustrine systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)Linear regression analyses support testate amoeba as rapid responders and recorders of environmental change. Taxa are strongly correlated with percent change of important water quality parameters. Our assessment indicates ... -

Defect thermometry using rutile and feldspar
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)Two potential trace-element/mineral pairs have been investigated for their potential use as thermobarometers. Al is a common trace/minor element found in rutile, typically on the order of 100’s of parts-per-million (ppm). ... -
